I am working with Professor Li-Shiuan Peh at Princeton University for the summer. Professor Peh's research is centered on interconnection networks, more specifically power-aware networks. My project has to do with a specific project she works on called ZebraNet. ZebraNet is a system that consists of collars that can be worn by wildlife to allow energy-efficient tracking. This specific project focuses on tracking zebras at the Mpala Research Centre in Kenya. Initially, my project was to read about existing routing protocols and come up with modifications to allow for more power-efficiency. Now my project has grown to have a more general use, rather than focus specifically on ZebraNet. I have been studying some timekeeping metrics that model behavior in routing protocols. This model can be used to predict the success rate of the algorithms. My project is to apply or modify the metrics to model the power consumption in the same protocols. With such a model, we can avoid running long simulations to generate power data as changes are continuously made in the algorithms. The following journal entries contain more information about what I have accomplished so far:
